Points for answers:

James got a clean sweep for which he wins an electronic bunch of daffodils.

Adolf got one on trust and a bonus for satire.

Robert got one for extra information.

Andrei got four and a bonus for wit.

Adam got three.

David got three (accepting that run is related to flee) with a bonus for deduction and perseverance.

UPDATE: PDM got 1/2 with a bonus for satire and another for my oversight. (not sure if the lack of a $10 note is a cry of poverty or reflection on money machines which usually dish out 20s and 50s).
